Conor McGregor let BKFC president David Feldman in on a major career update.
McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) is yet to compete since breaking his leg in a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021. He had re-entered the UFC drug-testing pool to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June 2024 but withdrew from the fight a month away after breaking his pinky toe.
McGregor has not been booked for a fight since, and many have questioned if he will ever return again. But with President Donald Trump announcing that the UFC will host an event next July at the White House, McGregor has thrown his name in the hat.
According to Feldman, McGregor is taking his comeback seriously.
“He’s got two fights left on his contract,” Feldman said on “The Ariel Helwani Show.” “He’s got to get right, and the whole world’s waiting. Is he going to get in shape and fight? He told me in person, he whispered in my ear, he said, ‘I’m in the testing pool.’ He said, ‘I’m getting ready to make my comeback. I’m going to fight on that big card, and then I’m going to have another fight, and then we can talk.”
Feldman is referring to McGregor potentially competing for BKFC – something the former UFC dual-champion has vowed he would eventually do. However, McGregor will have to complete the final two fights on his UFC contract before being able to.
